#46105: texinfo @5.2_2 has unlisted dependency on TeX ------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: karsten@… | Owner: larryv@… Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: texinfo | ------------------------+---------------------- Comment (by larryv@…): Replying to [comment:2 karsten@…]:
The real solution would probably be to add DVI / PDF output capability probing to the autoconf script, and disable building those if texinfo doesn't support it.
That might be something upstream should do, but it’s exactly what we //don’t// want. [[RepeatableBuilds|We don’t want ports to build differently]] based on whether some external program is present or absent. The fact remains that the `texinfo` port installs a script that requires TeX but doesn’t have a dependency on TeX. This should be fixed. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/46105#comment:3> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
